Re: Can connect to router but not to internet?

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking sharing

hi everyone, i am having exactly the same problem as what people have
described on here and have tried all the suggestions that people have
put forward but no joy. i dont understand it because in all the other
houses ive lived in the wireless has always connected but now that ive
moved into my new house it wont connect and just says local connection.
ive even tried to connect with an ethernet cable and after some fiddling
around it worked but by doing this, it must have affected the wireless
as my housemates computer couldnt pick up wireless then, yet i could
pick up the net through the cable. Im starting to think that its the
router that is rubbish and wanted to know what other people
thought?would it worth buying a new router and seeing if that
worked?thanks any answers would be greatly appreciated.i have no idea
about computer, which youve probably already guessed by this message so
yep any help would be ace!thanks Anna
